I recall seeing a news clip of his brother John's funeral, from a small wooden structure, an Albanian Orthodox Church in Hyanis Port MA, as I recall.

I have a hard time believing that Serj Tankian is an Orthodox Christian. If he is, his priest should wash his mouth out with soap, based on some of the stuff he sings (e.g. the song Violent Pornography)  From the man's mouth: "About religion- My religion is the same as the trees out there. It's the same inspiration. Whatever moves them, moves me. I believe that we're animals. I know we are because we die and we eat and we ****. And all modern religions to me are false. All modern religions come from a time of what we call civilization. Civilization has only existed ten thousand years among millions of years of man being on this planet. Everything before civilization is called prehistory. The reason that I don't give credence to modern religions is because they are only partially true. Because they were started from after civilization." He's a talented musician and lyricist, but I'm guessing he doesn't practice Orthodoxy (although it's quite possible he was Baptized). A name I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos. Actually, I'm not surprised. It's very hard to spell that name, and many wouldn't want to embarrass themselves trying. Going by his Wiki article, his father is Dean Emeritus at Holy Trinity Cathedral, and he's considered becoming a priest himself. |

I'd be careful how much credence I give to this list, though. Take "Pistol" Pete Maravich, for instance. I can remember how toward the end of his life he was quite close with Dr. James Dobson, enough so that Dr. Dobson gave a stirring eulogy in Pete's memory on his "Focus on the Family" program shortly after the basketball star died suddenly in the mid 1980's. I'm not sure a fundamentalist such as Dr. Dobson would have effused so much praise upon the Christian faith of someone who died Orthodox. (IIRC, Dr. Dobson claimed to have been with Mr. Maravich when he died--collapsed of cardiac arrest at age 40 during a pickup game of basketball.) Everyone named on that list may have been Orthodox at some point in their lives, even if considered Orthodox by ethnicity only, but that doesn't mean that everyone on that list who is still living would call themselves Orthodox today. |

Another interesting thing about him is that I've always seen his name spelled Dwyane--in this case where the "Y" precedes the "A", I guess the "Y" is silent. |

Found this video the other day: Novak Djokovic says (in match with a Greek) that "we are truly Orthodox brothers". http://youtu.be/kQzIzXPWK8MOn a somewhat related note, I've learned whilst being here in Greece that the #1 Greek soccer/football team, Olympiacos FC is in a "brotherhood" with a couple other teams, and they call themselves the "Orthodox Brothers"... The "Orthodox Brothers" (in soccer) consists of: Olympiacos FC (1st in Greece); Red Star Belgrade (2nd in Serbia); FC Spartak Moscow (4th in Russia). |

Seeing Jennifer Aniston's lifestyle.... I would say no. Evan Lysacek is Orthodox (Olympic figure skater) |

I like Jennifer Aniston a lot, I find her exceptionally attractive, and I don't think we should judge her life style, anymore than we should judge our fellow man. She does officially list herself as Greek Orthodox, claiming St. Sophia G.O. Cathedral in L.A. as her parish, but it was reported that her father, soap opera actor John Aniston, was disappointed when she did not get married to Brad Pitt in the Orthodox Church. (She has embraced her Greek heritage, having lived in Greece in her youth, she vacations in her family's home village regularly. Her Godfather was the late Telly Savalas.)

It seems to me that getting married outside the church nets one an excommunication, so unless she was given a dispensation, she wouldn't be Orthodox in good standing, but who knows, maybe she did. I guess that's between her and her spiritual father/confessor/bishop. |

I guess that's between her and her spiritual father/confessor/bishop. That marriage occurred 11 years ago, and ended 6 years ago. Like the end of your post says, it's between her and her Priest/Confessor. We don't have any business judging her in that way. |

Orthodoc From what I read, Johnny Weir is just a Russophile, he isn't Orthodox, rather he is a Roman Catholic (but practices Kabballah?). I know we just finished a discussion on personal behavior, and I'm not judging him, but he has viewpoints and openly practices behavior contrary to Orthodox teaching and tradition. |

St. Peter of Rostov, a Mongol prince who became a wonder-worker
I think he was Tatar, there are so many Tatar Orthodox many of which have taken on the Russian Ethnic identity, although Tatar grous such as the Nağaybäklär, Keräşens and Volga Tatar groups are Orthodox today. a good example is the famous Abraham of Bulgaria : (Bulgaria meaning Volga Bulgaria not the European nation) |

Tatarlar or Tatar in English does describe the people of the Volga regions but they are a distinct form of Altaic people i.e. related like the previous groups I listed Qazan (Kazan) Tatars being the main type living in Tatarstan, RU today. Mongolians are not Tatars never have been called Tatars although Tatars themselves are Mongolic meaning they desend from the Mongols, if we call every ethnicity which is partially Mongol Tatar then the entire Eastern European and Asian continent will be Tatar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatars |

The term "Tatar" was indeed applied to Mongols by Russians and other Europeans. Obviously it is not an accurate application of the term but historically it is common. One rarely sees the term "Mongol" in medieval European sources. The invaders under Genghis and Batu Khan were called "Tatars" but they were Mongols. St. Peter of Rostov was a Mongol (belonging to the Golden Horde) but he is called a Tatar.

One rarely sees the term "Mongol" in medieval European sources. The invaders under Genghis and Batu Khan were called "Tatars" but they were Mongols. St. Peter of Rostov was a Mongol (belonging to the Golden Horde) but he is called a Tatar.
Fair enough, so they used to call Mongols Tatar? How did the Russian distinguish from Mongol and (Volga Tatar i.e. Kazan) when they conqured Kazan? I never knew this. It's like calling Americans English or Canadians English because somwhere down the track many of them originated from there. |

The term "Tatar" was indeed applied to Mongols by Russians and other Europeans. Obviously it is not an accurate application of the term but historically it is common. One rarely sees the term "Mongol" in medieval European sources. The invaders under Genghis and Batu Khan were called "Tatars" but they were Mongols. St. Peter of Rostov was a Mongol (belonging to the Golden Horde) but he is called a Tatar.

It's like calling Americans English or Canadians English because somwhere down the track many of them originated from there. I don't know if they had a separate term for the Volga Tatars. It's funny what you say about "English," the Amish tend to call any outsider "English." |

Jennifer Aniston-Raised Greek Orthodox and had a Greek Orthodox wedding in her show 'Friends'. Eminem-Converted to Orthodoxy before going into rehab, in many of his videos he is seen crossing himself from right to left. Jim Belushi-Raised in the Albanian Orthodox Church, recently just met the Patriarch I think. John Belushi-Raised in the Albanian Orthodox Church as well. Tom Hanks-Not sure of the details Bob Marley-Converted to Ethiopian Orthodoxy right before his death. He actually attempted to be Baptised three times before in the past but it was always postponed because of death threats to his Bishop. He waited until his death bed in New York before converting. I just watched videos of Bear Grylls jumping out of airplanes, he does cross himself from right to left... But with his full hand like many Catholics, not with three fingers.
Interesting. Perhaps he is an Eastern Rite Catholic? |
